The day trip is a summertime institution that dawns with hope and high spirits and ends, if all goes well, with satisfaction, a pleasant sense of fatigue and sticky hands from the after-dinner ice cream stop. The “all goes well” part is where we step in. With school bells about to toll their last, this guide advises you on where to go and what to do at destinations that require no more than two hours in the car. We also dispense sage advice on your closest, best vendors of ice cream, fried clams, pizza and other kid-friendly fare. It’s summer — get out there and enjoy!
